"Father, since you've come to Taiyuan City, why don't you stay here for a while?"
After a short discussion, Li Tai went to his room to send a message. Dugu Xin took a carriage and a group of guards to the Wang family's ancestral home. Mo Chui followed the original plan and bought supplies for the students on Dragon Mountain with the Academy's teachers. Iron Egg had nothing to do for the time being. In other words, everyone deliberately left space for the father and son to reunite. When Iron Egg saw Han Lizheng come to the courier station, he was naturally very happy. However, when Han Lizheng arrived at the courier station, everyone began to discuss. Until now, the father and son had not had time to say a word. Now that they finally had a moment of leisure, Iron Egg followed Han Lizheng to a large ginkgo tree in the courtyard. Then he opened his mouth and asked casually.
Speaking of which, it had not been long since the father and son last met. More than a month ago, Li Zexuan led the Sky Rooster Brigade to the north to exterminate the locusts. They passed by Yifang County, where Han Lizheng lived. At that time, the father and son were reunited for a few days.
Although they had just reunited more than a month ago, Iron Egg was still somewhat dissatisfied. This was because the father and son of other families could reunite almost every day. He really did not understand why his father did not stay at home and had to go to Yifang County, which was so far away to buy a manor and become a landlord.
This child's thoughts could not be blamed. After all, he had lost his mother when he was young. His father was often away at war, and he relied on his sister's efforts to raise him. Later, when Han Lizheng returned to the Han family manor, their family's life gradually improved. Although they could not be said to be rich, at least the family was reunited.
Later, Han Yuxi married into the Li family, and Han Lizheng went to Yifang County to buy a manor and become a landlord. For Iron Egg, the two people he relied on the most in his life gradually "distanced" from him. This made him feel as if he had suddenly become a "loner". This kind of separation was too cruel for a youth who had not yet reached the age of twenty!
"Yes!"
Hearing his son's question, Han Lizheng nodded. Then he sighed and said, "Your father originally planned to return after delivering the secret letter to His Highness. However, from what you said just now, Taiyuan City is now extremely dangerous. You and King Wei both came to Taiyuan with important tasks. Those enemies are all watching you covetously from the shadows. If your father did not know this, then it would be fine. But now that I know, how can I leave with peace of mind? Before you find the power behind the scenes or you can safely leave Taiyuan City, this old man will stay with you in this courier station! "
Before receiving the secret letter, Han Lizheng had never imagined that Iron Egg would be in Taiyuan with Li Tai and the others on 'important matters', nor would he have imagined that they would be facing a crisis of life and death. At this moment, Han Lizheng only rejoiced, rejoiced that he had unexpectedly obtained the secret letter to the steppe. Otherwise, he might not have received any news of Iron Egg's death!
In addition, Han Lizheng had accompanied Qin Qiong to the north to attack the Turks. As a veteran of hundreds of battles, he naturally knew martial arts. Although his martial arts were not as freakish as Li Zexuan's, he was still stronger than the majority of the estate soldiers. Otherwise, he would not have become Qin Qiong's personal guard.
Now that he knew that his son was in danger, Han Lizheng naturally had to stay behind to protect Iron Egg.
Hearing that, Bruiser could not hide his excitement and said, "Great, great! I will go and help you tidy up a room! "
After saying that, Iron Egg immediately turned around and prepared to tidy up the room. However, he was stopped by Han Lizheng. Han Lizheng said, "This is not urgent. We have to prepare first. When Your Highness goes to the Provincial Governor's Mansion, we will follow you!"
"Oh … Okay!"
Tie Dan recovered from his excitement and quickly nodded his head in agreement.
Looking at the boy in front of him who was already as tall as his chest, Han Lizheng felt a little emotional. His heart was very complicated. He felt gratified and a little guilty. After staring at him for a while, Han Lizheng said, "Iron Egg, I am very gratified that you can represent the Academy and serve the country. You have grown up …"
Indeed, in the past, Iron Egg was just a little boy in the Han Village who often played with mud and crickets in the fields with a group of naughty children. Now, only a little more than a year had passed. Not only did he become the disciple of a famous teacher, but he also made great achievements in his studies. Now, he represented Yanhuang College and went to Taiyuan to build a telegraph relay station for the Tang Empire. Although he was not a pillar of the country, he was still a useful person to the country. How could Han Lizheng not be gratified by such a big change?
However, at the same time, Han Lizheng also felt a little guilty. Because he had moved to Yifang County at the beginning of the year, the father and son had been apart for more than half a year. To a certain extent, he had not fulfilled his responsibility as a father!
To be able to receive his father's praise, Tie Dan would be lying if he said that he wasn't happy. However, he didn't get carried away and said modestly, "Father, this is nothing. Actually … my sister and I have always hoped that you would move back to the Han Family Manor!"
Obviously, this last sentence was what Iron Egg wanted to say the most.
Han Lizheng was stunned and his eyes were a little dazed. After a while, he patted Iron Egg's shoulder and said,
"Brat, how could I not want to move back to the Han Village? It's just that … the matter in Willow Village is not completely finished. The sewage discharged from Xiaoxuan's mine still affects the surrounding villages. After I have completely treated the sewage there according to Xiaoxuan's method, I will move back to the Han Village! "
In fact, when Han Lizheng went to Yifang County to "buy property", other than to treat the polluted water of the surrounding villages because of Li Zexuan's mine, there was another important reason. It was to guard the graves of his comrades who had died in battle!
Fifty miles north of Yifang County, at the foot of White Mountain, there was a graveyard for thousands of people. Buried there were all heroes who died in battle during the four years of Wu De when Li Shimin led the army to attack the Turks in the north!
Although Han Lizheng had left the army long ago, he could never give up the brotherhood deep in his heart.
"Father, is what you said true?"
After hearing that Han Lizheng would move back to Lantian County after treating the sewage around the mine, Iron Egg was overjoyed. He looked up at Han Lizheng and asked.
"Of course it's true!"
Han Lizheng sighed in his heart, and then said, "Alright! Brat! Now is not the time to reminisce. His Highness should be done sending the telegram soon. Go pack up and get ready. Also, see if General Fei Ying needs any help. We should set off in a while! "
"Yes! Father! "
Iron Egg replied and happily turned to leave.
Although the current situation in Taiyuan City was unclear and they did not know how many dangers were hidden around them, this did not stop Iron Egg from feeling happy at this moment.
